ADVANCE: Making a Difference at Virginia Tech

The goals of AdvanceVT are to raise visibility of women leaders across campus, select a small group of senior women faculty from across campus based on interest and potential to move into leadership roles, develop an individualized assessment and development plan to build on strengths and address weaknesses, and plan workshops based on identified needs open to all women. Topics of these workshops will include conflict resolution, negotiations, financial management, strategic planning, and how to say no, among other things.
